The Consul at San José (Chase) to the Secretary of State
[Received September 15, 3.45 a.m.]
Your September 12th, 2 p.m. Julio Acosta and party arrived at San José yesterday afternoon and received an enthusiastic welcome. Very great crowd and no disorder. Barquero called on him at the hotel.
American warship Baltimore arrived at Puntarenas yesterday morning and the Denver left.
Confidential. Barquero is in full control. Quiros loyally aided but he has been succeeded as Minister of War by Aquiles Bonilla [Page 863] Gutierrez. Almost all Tinoco adherents have been removed and others are being replaced by loyal men in all positions as rapidly as possible.
